Widower Gets Shirt Saying He’s Going To Be A Great Grandpa

The bond between grandparent and grandchild is an incredibly strong one. Often, a grandma or grandpa is the person you can turn to when you need comfort or reassurance. Since they’re typically less strict and more prone to “spoiling” a child than parents, it’s no wonder that grandparents are such important figures in a person’s life!

For Bianca Rollo, her bond with her “Papa” is particularly special — and a video she shared on July 1, 2017 shows exactly why.

As Bianca explains in her caption, she is the first grandchild in her family, so her bond with her grandpa is different from the one he has with her brother and sister. They spent a lot of time together as she was growing up, and they grew to love one another dearly.

When a now-adult Bianca discovered that she and her husband were expecting their first child, she knew she wanted her 85-year-old Papa to be one of the first people to find out that he would be a great-grandpa.

Since Bianca’s grandma (her Papa’s wife) passed away in 2008, it was even more important to her to tell him about the new life that would be joining their family soon.

In the heartwarming video below, which to date has been viewed over 1 million times, Bianca presents her grandpa with a Father’s Day gift. When he unwraps it, he sees it’s a T-shirt. But when he reads the words written on the custom shirt, he completely loses it.

I couldn’t help but cry watching this beautiful moment!
